Lee,

I do have the pin out for the drives, and for the normal floppy drives.
I figure I will toast a few old 486s or P-60s at work.  We have enough in
disposal so I wouldnt miss a few.
I dont think it will take that much time, but if it does, I will be doing this
at work in my spare time anyway.  :}

Thanks
Rich
